Abstract
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to: receive sensor data of a gas temperature in a vehicle tire; in response to the gas temperature being above a predetermined temperature threshold, control a temperature reduction unit to perform a temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire; receive status data of the temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire, the status data being indicative of the temperature reduction in the vehicle tire relative to the temperature threshold; and perform a vehicle responsive action for avoiding a vehicle tire rupture in response to the status data.

A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- receive sensor data of a gas temperature in a vehicle tire;
- in response to the gas temperature being above a predetermined temperature threshold, control a temperature reduction unit to perform a temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire;
- receive status data of the temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire, the status data being indicative of the temperature reduction in the vehicle tire relative to the temperature threshold;
- and
- perform a vehicle responsive action for avoiding a vehicle tire rupture in response to the status data.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, by processing circuitry of a computer system, a gas temperature in a vehicle tire;
- controlling, by the processing circuitry, a temperature reduction unit to perform a temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire in response to the gas temperature being above a predetermined temperature threshold;
- determining, by the processing circuitry, the status of the temperature reduction action for the vehicle tire, the status being indicative of the temperature reduction in the vehicle tire relative to the temperature threshold;
- and
- performing, by the processing circuitry, a vehicle responsive action for avoiding a vehicle tire rupture in response to the determined status.
